A late Tomer Hemed goal sunk Cardiff City, as they were defeated 1-0 by league leaders Brighton and Hove Albion.

The game was a re-arrangement of December’s game that was postponed due to fog.

Sky Bet had arranged free coach travel for the Cardiff supporters who were making the trip, and 408 travelling fans backed the Bluebirds.

Neil Warnock’s side looked set to steal a point and record their first clean-sheet away from home since the opening day of the season, until Israel international Hemed struck in the 73^rd minute.

Cardiff entered the game in good form, having won their previous three league games, and coped well with highflying Brighton.

The victory saw Chris Hughton’s side return to the top of the Sky Bet Championship but left the Bluebirds 16^th in the table.

Warnock’s men are up against another promotion contender this weekend, as they face third placed Reading on Saturday.
